Domestic violence includes a wide range of behaviors where one person is exerting power and control over a spouse, dating partner and\/or adult family member regarding their choices, beliefs, and actions. Also referred to as domestic abuse, partner abuse, or intimate partner violence, domestic violence is a pattern of behavior, not a single act, and it can be physical, verbal, sexual, emotional, and\/or financial.<\/p>\n
The power and control wheel graphic represents the different tactics and behaviors which are commonly used by those who are abusive. Size, age, gender, mental health, or other personal attributes do not determine whether someone can be abused or who abuses others.<\/p>\n
Disputes and disagreements are a normal part of healthy relationships when they are based on respect and equality. Violence and abuse including threats of harm in a relationship is something else entirely, impacting every aspect of a victim\u2019s life, and creating a significant imbalance of power in the relationship.<\/p>\n
While anyone can be a victim of domestic violence, there is an unequal impact on women and girls. Abuse occurs in LGBQ\/T communities at the same or higher rates as in heterosexual and cis-gender relationships. The impact on people who experience abuse can be exacerbated by other oppressions they experience because of their age, race, ethnic background, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, native language, citizenship status, and income level. This creates additional levels of trauma for survivors as well as barriers to services, support, and justice.<\/p>\n
